Well, I know the Shoutbox hasn't been used that much. I know why, too. When you are chatting you can't look anywhere else on the forums! Pain in the butt, that!
Problem solved. Not only has it been renamed "HalChat Mark IV" but if you click the little down arrow by the name you can click "Detach". Voila! Now the chatbox is in another window or tab! Keep the chat going while you follow the antics of Chaz vs. Mav or GasBandit's Republican Tirade of the Day!
Yes. Yes you could. But in this case the ShoutBox is pretty much alone on the detached page. If you just open another tab the window is smaller and you still have the whole forum below it.

You could do what the cool kids do and just open IRC.

Everytime anyone talks about Shoutbox, this song enters my disturbed mind.

Yay! Yet another attempt bit the dust. More people used it. So that meant our CPU took a HUGE hit!
I had to turn it off. Again. When I get the optimization update we'll try it again.
